I came across this today while browsing the forums at Canuck Audio Mart.
The article provides an informative discussion of the process of cutting a vinyl record and some of the issues involved (contending with sibilance, determining album length, maintaining quality of sound across the entire record, mastering, etc.).
It also provides a useful explanation about why records, even when mastered from digital files, sound different than CDs.
If you’re a musician interested in pressing your album on vinyl, there are even some helpful tips about how to prepare your mastered album for cutting on vinyl.
